Hi Chris, To answer your questions... The font library is attached to either MicroStation as a whole or the seed file. Not sure which, but either way you'd set it up beforehand in MicroStation rather than FME.
Use Utilities > Install Fonts in MicroStation and it will open a dialog. From here you can open a font resource file (.rsc) and see the font numbers. Pick whichever font you want to use and set igds_font to its number. The default font library is something like... C:\Program Files\Bentley\Workspace\System\symb\font.rsc To specify a character I'd convert the feature to a text feature within FME using that character as the text. So you'd add the chosen character as an attribute (AttributeCreator) then use the LabelPointReplacer transformer to turn it into a label.
